Today Bruno had his first exposure to horses, and despite his original fear and subsequent growling, he eventually relaxed and understood that they were not a threat, just much bigger than any dog he had ever seen. The lady with the long hair is an experienced service dog handler whose dog recently passed and is now interested in Bruno. She is an equestrian and owns 5 horses, and Bruno would be able to run with her when she rides on the trails and beaches. We are just investigating possibilities at this point, but Bruno passed this test for sure. Funny moment when Bruno sniffed the wrong spot and took a kick to the head. He is unhurt, and probably learned a lesson.
